local rules

Read a random definition: actual escape

A quick definition of local rules:

Local rules are a set of rules that are made by a local court to govern how things are done in that court. These rules explain how to file complaints or other documents, how to serve process, and how to conduct trials. They are different from federal rules, which are made by the government for all courts in the country. Local rules are specific to one court and can be changed by that court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Local rules are a set of formal or informal regulations that are created and enforced by a local court. These rules govern the practical and procedural affairs of the court, such as how to file complaints, serve process, and conduct trials. They are different from federal rules, which are created by the federal government.

  • A local court may have a rule that requires all complaints to be filed in a certain format or on a specific type of paper.
  • Another local court may have a rule that requires all parties to a case to attend a settlement conference before going to trial.

These examples illustrate how local rules can vary from court to court and can cover a wide range of procedures and requirements.
